The Springfield Police Youth Aid Bureau has issued an appeal to the public in the hopes of finding two 15-year-old runaways thought to be in the Hartford area. Both were reported missing under circumstances that have yet to be disclosed, fueling a communal effort to ensure their safe return.
Brandon Johnson, one of the missing teens, stands around 5’7’’ and weighs about 150 lbs. His peer, Quincy Malone, shares a similar stature, also around 5’7’’, but is a bit lighter at approximately 130 lbs. In a post shared earlier by Springfield Police Dept MA on Facebook, authorities provided these descriptions in hope that someone with information comes forward. Running away at such a formative age, the uncertainty weighs heavy on the community.
Residents of the area and others who might happen upon these youths are urged to remain on the lookout. As minors unmoored from their home's safety, the risks they face untethered cannot be understated. The police have not disclosed any further details regarding the circumstances of their disappearance but indicate that any information could prove invaluable.
The Springfield Police Youth Aid Bureau has asked anyone with information on the teenagers' whereabouts to call Detectives at 413-787-6360 or the non-emergency line at 413-787-6300. If you see them or know their whereabouts, please call, implored the department in the social media alert, driving the gravity of the situation to the heart of the community - who can only hope the boys are found unharmed.
